Windows Message ID constants

Too bad C# didn't have a class like this. I thought I had to build it on my own. Luckily there is always someone that has previoulsy done the hard work. Thanks pal!

Yakumo Fujii, seeking Pai.

A real lifesaver Wink | ;)

Thanks searching for it from long back.

Thank you a lot... i passed all the day searching for this Wink | ;)

Saved me some time, Thanks!

:(lose SC_CLOSE,SC_MOVE,SC_MAXIMIZE,SC_MINIMIZE,SC_SIZE!

Why?

I'm relatively new to Windows API stuff (ie: disclaimer), but this could be a useful addendum to the above which I grabbed from MSDN and the WinUser.h file :

	public enum WM_SYSCOMMAND_WPARAM <br />
	{<br />
		SC_FIRST = 0xF000,<br />
		SC_SIZE = SC_FIRST, //	Sizes the window.<br />
		SC_MOVE = SC_FIRST + 0x10, //	Moves the window.<br />
		SC_MINIMIZE = SC_FIRST + 0x20, //	Minimizes the window.<br />
		SC_MAXIMIZE = SC_FIRST + 0x30, //	Maximizes the window.<br />
		SC_NEXTWINDOW = SC_FIRST + 0x40, //	Moves to the next window.<br />
		SC_PREVWINDOW = SC_FIRST + 0x50, //	Moves to the previous window.<br />
		SC_CLOSE = SC_FIRST + 0x60, //		Closes the window.<br />
		SC_VSCROLL = SC_FIRST + 0x70, //Scrolls vertically<br />
		SC_HSCROLL = SC_FIRST + 0x80, //	Scrolls horizontally.<br />
		SC_MOUSEMENU = SC_FIRST + 0x90, //	Retrieves the window menu as a result of a mouse click.<br />
		SC_KEYMENU = SC_FIRST + 0x100, //	Retrieves the window menu as a result of a keystroke. For more information, see the Remarks section.<br />
		SC_ARRANGE = SC_FIRST + 0x110, <br />
		SC_RESTORE = SC_FIRST + 0x120, //	Restores the window to its normal position and size.<br />
		SC_TASKLIST = SC_FIRST + 0x130, //	Activates the Start menu.<br />
		SC_SCREENSAVE = SC_FIRST + 0x140, //	Executes the screen saver application specified in the [boot] section of the System.ini file.<br />
		SC_HOTKEY = SC_FIRST + 0x150, //Activates the window associated with the application-specified hot key. The lParam parameter identifies the window to activate.<br />
<br />
<br />
		SC_DEFAULT = SC_FIRST + 0x160, //	Selects the default item; the user double-clicked the window menu.<br />
		SC_MONITORPOWER = SC_FIRST + 0x170, //	Sets the state of the display. This command supports devices that have power-saving features, such as a battery-powered personal computer. <br />
											//The lParam parameter can have the following values:<br />
											//1 - the display is going to low power<br />
											//2 - the display is being shut off<br />
		SC_CONTEXTHELP = SC_FIRST + 0x180, //	Changes the cursor to a question mark with a pointer. If the user then clicks a control in the dialog box, the control receives a WM_HELP message.<br />
		<br />
		SC_SEPARATOR = 0xF00F<br />
	}

Thanks a lot.
Nice to found it.

You've done good job man. I've been searching for this long before! Again, thank you!

Thanks for this dude. I remember how I had to send some of the header files to Nnamdi Onyeyiri because he didn't have VC++ (and he wanted to know the values of these constants). Mighty useful article.

I'm not sure, but I thing it's better to declare the enum as uint type.
I find your work is this very helpfull.
Thanks.

That’s actually what I did at first, but then I noticed that the Msg Property of the Message struct is defined as an int. I wasn’t sure whether MS had any intention of using the negative range of the integer for .net messages in the future, but I figured that they must have had a reason for it.

Thanks for checking over things,

I think the reason you find int instead of uint is because uint is not CLS compliant.

That’s sounds like a better explanation than mine, and an even better reason to keep the enum defined as int.

Sure for that.

Thanks for this list! I will surely find it useful!
